Answer:

n=15

Explanation:

(subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.)

6+n/5=9

6+n/5-6=9-6

(Now you will have to simplify.)

n/5=3

(You will have to multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators.)

n/5=3

5xn/5=5x3

(You will now have to simplify.)

n=15

And that's how you get your answer.

i hope this helps. :)
